Gunfight in Maputo

The day I arrived in Maputo, there was a gunfight downtown at a local bank. Apparently the well-armed police had heard that some men were going to rob the bank. So, the local gendarmes waited for them and when the would-be robbers arrived and stepped out of their car, the cops gunned them down.

The next day, this was the front page of the local paper. These guys don't mess around. Shoot first and ask questions later. Hope they got the right guys.
